This award brings the total cumulative value of the contract to $145 million. Work will be performed in Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands, 75%; Hawaii, 5%; Diego Garcia, 5%; and Australia,15%; and will be completed by July 2025. Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Pacific made the award, according to a June 18 release from the U.S. Department of Defense.
